Teacher says experts ignored warnings on David Amess' killer Ali Harbi Ali

A teacher has revealed her dismay at officials from the Government's deradicalisation programme shrugging off her concerns about the extremist who went on to murder Tory MP David Amess.

She described how Ali Harbi Ali went from a bright pupil to a fanatic whose eyes had become 'dead'. The teacher was so alarmed that she referred Ali to Prevent but was later told he was not deemed a threat.

Ali, 25, was last week given a whole life sentence after being convicted of stabbing 69-year-old father-of-three Sir David at his Southend West constituency surgery.
